Background and Training
I have been practicing massage therapy since 1997. I completed an 800 hour course of study
at The Shiatsu Clinic & School in Iowa City, Iowa. My primary training was in
Focused Touch Shiatsu under the tutelage of, and developed by, James Luth.
I have extensive additional training in a variety of modalities, but generally use an integrative approach which
includes Swedish massage, Deep Tissue massage, and Trigger Point therapy along with Acupressure.
